Apple filed a patent made public yesterday for a keyboard that will be resistant to crumbs. For those of you who love snacking at your work desk, or lounging at home with your laptop, you may get excited for a keyboard that will keep out dirt, crumbs and other things that it might absorb. The patent describes two ways that this keyboard could happen: either by sealing gaps off or having a 'membrane beneath each key that would blow out air every time a key is pressed' therefore pushing out unwanted items.
